MISSION: GET TO ZE CHOPPA

[initiatesnpc]

Date & Time: August 23rd, 2753 (OOCly forward-dated to the 1st)
Location: Uruguay National Defense HQ
Characters: All transports!
Summary: All transports are sent back to Uruguay to download a self-aware AI before it gets bombed out of existence by an early incarnation of the UE. Time distortion effects will be set right either on the way there or on the way back, according to player choice.
Warnings: violence, action movie tension, 3 terabytes of foot fetish porn.

The Transporter drops the entire transport population into what will quickly be established as Home Base, a mile from the vast, sprawling facility that is Uruguay's National Defense HQ. The low roar of helidrones moving above is pervasive, but the black ships can only be glimpsed here and there through the thick cover of trees overhead. If you keep calm and quiet, it's likely you won't be spotted. It's the UND HQ their attention is on, after all.

The population is quickly sorted by attending Initiate employees according to who volunteers to fight and who volunteers to protect, along with those with enough skill to access the computers, and those with enough skill to get them there. The fighters move out first, off to intercept the early UE's ships and ground troops, and to draw the automated defense systems of the facility alike. They'll be in a crossfire, and neither side will be happy to see them there.

The techies and their escorts are sent out far more quietly, in groups of three. Their task is to sneak past the front lines and into the facility itself. There might be alarms and automated defense drones, so those escorts may well be called on to earn their keep. The Initiative can't give any information about which building will house the AI's mainframe, that information was long since lost to history. All they can do is send out enough people to hope that one of them manages to find it.

And remember — as soon as the UE troops withdraw, there will only be minutes until the bomb drops. Everyone would do well to work fast.



[[ Mission information is here, and the techie/escort teams, along with their hacking results, are here. Each techie/escort group will have their own established thread, but Team Distraction and Team We'll Stay Here, Thanks are welcome to thread where ever and however they like! The newbie log that goes up on the 1st will also encompass the arrival back in Exsilium, if you'd like to play that out as well. ]]

[ she's 14 okay it's totally different ]

Yeah, I guess. Nobody's gonna get through us. [ She grins, fiddling with the sword in her hand. ] I mean, we're way more awesome than they are.

[ The most important part?? ]

[ringletted]

[There's a small smile at the words, but her voice is firm all the same when she replies.]

However awesome we may be, make sure not to underestimate them. They'll be skilled without a doubt.

[fortissimos]

I know that! [ Her tone speaks volumes about how little she actually knows, but Sayaka feels she's earned the right to be confident. How could a few soldiers possibly compare to taking down witches and familiars? ] But we're allies of justice.

[ She waves a hand towards the distant battlefield with a grin. More than ever, she feels like she could take on the world. ]

I mean, I might be new at this, but I'm still a magical girl. Nobody's gonna get hurt with me around.

[ringletted]

[She listens, and there's worry, but there's also admiration at how daring this girl is. It's not exactly a welcome trait for a child in this situation, but as long as there are people around to help protect this girl should the need arise, there's hope that those traits will carry on to make her a strong, brave woman someday. She can't help the fond smile that moves across her face.]

What kind of magic do you specialize in?

[fortissimos]

[ Or a sad, bitter teenager, as the case may be. Good thing even Sayaka doesn't know that one yet. ]

Uh... healing, I guess. Any injuries I get heal up right away, and I'm learning how to use it on other people too. [ See, she can totally handle herself. ] I'm getting better with my swords, but all that other stuff just kinda happens, so it's really easy to keep fighting!
